Just voted for her. Jessie was the first Chesapeake in the history of the breed to hold all the titles of Field Champion, Conformation Champion (Dual Champion) and Amateur Field Champion, plus and obedience title.

Qualified twice for the National Open Championship and five times for the National Amateur Championship.

Top Chesapeake Bitch in the Country

Open 1987, 1990 1992 AND Amateur 1988, 1989, 1991

From a personal standpoint trained with the Patterson's AND Jessie, judged her in the all-age. She is without a doubt the nicest Chesapeake and retriever I have thrown birds for except perhaps her daughter
DUAL CH and AFC JJ's Chi-Town Blizzard CD MH top those apple's. I had the opportunity to judge the 1996 Chesapeake Specialty Amateur All-Age stake at Mike Lardy's place , Handjem Kennels, watched a lot of excellent dogs and Jessie would have been there with the best of them.

think about the number of national titled dogs she produced
think about the number of FC's or AFC's she produced
think about the number of derby dogs she produced
think about the number of trials she judged including a national
think about the number of titled and nationally titled dogs she owned
think about the number of bitches that produced more than 4 titled dogs in their lifetime - any breeder ever owned more BB, Rita, Lottie, etc
I think it is a shame she isn't already in the hall.
